We don't sentence & punish people based on their politics. That way leads only to crazy fascism.

No one deserves to be raped and murdered in prison. The justice system is far from perfect but we don't sentence people to be raped and then murdered. We do rarely sentence people to death, but not by vigilante shanking or beating.

I think most people understand it, but even referring to it as a type of "porn" normalizes it to some extent.

The politically correct term CSAM is to differentiate it from ordinary porn which is legal and at least somewhat socially acceptable and ensure that people understand that when children are involved, it is always abusive. The terms mean the same thing, but being precise with language is important.

Porn is a legal thing that normal people enjoy. The term CSAM takes a stance that it is always abuse. I think they are basically interchangeable but CSAM is the currently preferred term.

What would you say is the difference? I feel like the terms are interchangeable. The comment you replied to didn't give the exact abbreviation but it gave the essence of what is meant by the picture.

I think the tribalism you describe is part of the explanation. Trump isn't just a member of their tribe, he's the strongman leader of it. They would make him their king because he wants to restore the old white Christian patriarchy. Threats to Trump are threats to that mission. This is what they mean by MAGA.

I thought Microsoft was the one requiring feature parity. It sounds like the real story is MS caving.

The males can be kind of aggressive in buzzing around you but they don't have stingers like the females do. They're big scary looking wasps but pretty harmless. They lived in my back yard for years and no one I know ever got stung by one.

I'm sure it is traumatic but that denial doesn't relieve him of legal responsibility. Negligence that leads to death is often prosecuted criminally.

Vote with your wallet anyway. McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but few would say they are the best.

And yet there are still politicians arguing that it isn't real or it isn't man made and we should actually be helping the fossil fuel industry.
